It felt cruel to have to get up before the crack of dawn on a Sunday morning...
Even the dogs had not woken up for goodness sake!!!!
but there we were quequed up in 5 groups complete with our respective Group Leaders...All 55 of us....
We started off soon on the 'normal' tarmac trek alongside our Sukhna Lake for the first leg of our nature trail... Many of the first timers were disappointed because they could have done this at a much more 'humane' hours later on in the day rather than having to register even before you could rub your eyes!
Sukhna started becoming more and more charming by the minute, with the sun rays frolicking on its ripples playfully creating a golden threaded carpet for the ducks to swim through...
Slowly CATS of all shaped and sizes started gathering pace along Sukhna... Easily identifiable from the rest of the joggers/walkers because of the water bottle every CAT was carrying!We go prepared you see :)
This young lot had come for the first time with CATS but seem to be having fun....
Aaaah... Saathi Haath Barraana...Whilst some decided to take alternate walkways to complete the first leg....
and with the parents amungst the CATS exploring the flora and fauna with their children by holding an impromptu fun filled walking discussion...
Rest had to run to reach the regulator end and catch up with the rest of the Catty Gang!
Meet the youngest CAT of the day; our barely 5years old CAT Jyotika piggyriding on her mother CAT Jyotsna's back... MEOW :)I bow to the spirit of CATS... over and over again....
CATS took a brief break at the regulator end to gather our groups, wits and breaths ;-)
and this is where the fun begins....
would you believe that this point is less than 500mtrs from the main tarmac of Sukhna?
Curiousity killed many a CAT whilst hopping across the jungle in pursuit of sambhars and spotted deer...
CATS spotted something else of interest just when we hit the path...
How can you really blame us for getting late for breakfast when we get way-laid by such naturally beautiful environs?!!
The first lot to reach back at the cafetaria for breakfast...
The rest followed soon to enjoy a delightful breakfast of stuffed chana-kulcha....
Your Sukhna from the 'other' end..... as you probably would have never seen before..
